Pediatric Catheters at Patient Care Medical

Types of Pediatric Catheters

There are a variety of pediatric catheters tailored to meet the specific needs of children at any stage of life. Our goal is to provide comfortable and easy-to-use solutions that make the process as stress-free as possible for both children and their caregivers. Here are the three main types of catheters.

Straight Pediatric Catheters

Straight pediatric catheters are a simple, reliable, and often cost-effective option for children to use. These catheters are uncoated and need to be manually lubricated before use. We offer individual packets of sterile lubricant or convenient flip-top tubes of catheter lubricant to ensure that application stays quick and easy. This type of catheter may be perfect for parents who prefer a straightforward, no-fuss approach.

Hydrophilic Pediatric Catheters

Hydrophilic catheters are designed with a special coating that becomes extremely slippery when activated by water. This water-loving property means that the catheter is pre-lubricated, reducing friction and making insertion smoother and more comfortable for your child. Many hydrophilic catheters come with a handling sleeve or guide, allowing for a hands-free insertion, which can help minimize the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). This feature is particularly useful for active children who need a quick and efficient catheterization process.

Pediatric Closed System Catheters

Closed system catheters are a great choice for children who are going to school or in wheelchairs. These all-in-one systems include a pre-lubricated catheter within a self-contained collection bag, eliminating the need for additional lubricant. This not only simplifies the process but also ensures sterility and reduces the risk of contamination. Many closed system catheters come with additional insertion supplies like sterile gloves, an underpad, and antiseptic wipes. They often feature a pre-lubricated introducer tip that helps bypass bacteria at the urethral opening, further minimizing infection risks. This type of catheter is ideal for families who need a convenient and hygienic solution for their child’s catheterization needs.
